So I was reading through this thread more...
I'm getting fuel at all injectors I'm going to try and add pressure to the fuel tank and see what happens
One time you are saying fuel at all injectors...
ok so ive made progress i found out that im not gettting fuel from the tank theres a block of some sort do i have a 2d pump? cause i saw this picture below and theirs wires running to it and
the fuel lines from the tank go in to it then run up to the filter.
i also got a bottle and filled it with diesel and tried starting her with a bottle full of diesel no luck the pump is sucking from the bottle just fine
Then you say you aren't getting any fuel from the tank, and that the pump is sucking from the bottle fine...
yeah its weird tho she wont pump any more fuel when cranking its like it cant pull the fuel when air get in then she tires to fire its weird i can make a video to show you guys oh and the blue idk its diesel? the little screw it tight . i also removed the water separator
And the last update was the pump isn't even pumping fuel into itself anymore...
So what is it?
Are you stuck with a pump that won't pump?
Be 100% certain you have as much diesel as you can get into the pump...
However you gotta do it, fill the pump with diesel through both the in and out holes...easiest and fastest way to do this is buy a $19 primer bulb from WalMart and hook it up and pump it through like this:
While cranking you should have tons of fuel pumping through the pump going in and going out, regardless of the stop solenoid or anything else.If the pump isn't pumping and circulating fuel on it's own, your vane pump inside the pump is faulty.
I could venture a scenario where the vane pump has just gotten a little varnished and gummed up over time, but was still limping along as long as it had a good steady stream of diesel still.
You ran it dry, got a bunch of air in there, maybe it sat around a while, and now the vanes are just simply stuck and the pump can't pump it's own fuel in.
I wish I had a nice high-res pic to show you the tolerances that are involved in that assembly.
Do you have the tools and know-how to swap a pump?
